Lagar EPI is located in Izeda, a locality that is part of the municipality of Bragança, in northern Portugal. More precisely, it is found in the area of Izeda, Calvelhe, and Paradinha Nova, with its address at Prado Vezo.
This location places the olive mill in a typical rural environment of Trás-os-Montes, surrounded by landscapes where olive growing is a central activity. Upon approach, it is possible to glimpse the agricultural context that defines this part of the region, with olive groves shaping the surrounding landscape.
This space, also known as the Cooperative Olive Mill of the Olive Growers of the Izeda Region, is a testament to this land's deep connection to olive oil production. An olive mill is, by definition, the place where olives, after harvesting, are transformed into the olive oil that enriches local and national cuisine. Its function is, therefore, intrinsic to Izeda's economy and agricultural traditions.
The cooperative nature of the olive mill underscores the joint effort and unity of the region's producers, who gather here to preserve and continue the art of olive growing, transmitting knowledge and practices from generation to generation.
The existence of Lagar EPI represents an important piece of Izeda's cultural and agricultural heritage. The building's structure, designed for the robustness and functionality required for olive crushing, reflects the traditional engineering linked to this secular activity.
For visitors, the olive mill offers a perspective on the history and resilience of the rural communities of northeastern Trás-os-Montes, who have managed to adapt and prosper through olive cultivation. It is a point that illustrates the importance of olive oil not only as a product but as a central element in the identity and way of life of the region.
